In the ribbon, I want to insert a picture or a link into a content page, but the "From Sharepoint" button is grayed out and I can only upload an image or insert a link "From Address". My field is rich text. I'm using SharePoint 2010.
How can I make the link available?
Thanks
Do not muck with the ribbon to make this work!
Totally depends on how you want to use it.
First of all, the Publishing feature must be active on Site Collection level and on the site where you want to add your rich content.
Then, if you activate the Wiki Home page feature you will have the SharePoint option availabe on the page.
If you want to use it in a custom list, it gets a bit more complicated.
The normal Rich Text field greys out the SharePoint option. And you can not add the Full HTML with publishing field directly to a custom list. So the solution is to create a new site column based on the Full HTML field. And then add that site column to the custom list. This field is part of the publishing infrastructure. So only available on SharePoint Server 2010
Unless you have the "SharePoint Server Publishing feature" under "Site Settings" -> "Site Features" activated, these options are not made available to you.
Usually ribbon button is grayed out if you didn't add CommandUIHandler element for it in your CustomAction XML.
For more details, you can see this MSDN article:

Sharepoint server publishing feature was activated on one of my SharePoint sites, but it's not showing hide ribbon in Site Actions.
Also when we edit the page, it's appending the parameters “?PageView=Shared&InitialTabId=Ribbon.WebPartPage&VisibilityContext=WSSWebPartPage” to the address bar insted of "?ControlMode=Edit&DisplayMode=Design".
NB : In the navigation setting the "Ribbon" and "Hide Ribbon" commands are already set as "true"
Your issue seems to be similar to that reported here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/35c7f486-2b20-4129-b461-65b147a4490e/when-editing-the-page-in-sharepoint-we-cannot-edit-the-content-area-and-we-need-to-click-on-save-and?forum=sharepointgeneral
We found your issue and the solution because when our users edited a sharepoint online page they got take to
intranet/pages/somepage.aspx?PageView=Shared&InitialTabId=Ribbon.WebPartPage&VisibilityContext=WSSWebPartPage
Which showed them a view of the page with no ribbon and no ability to edit the content.
On some pages they were shown the ribbon. In thoses cases they still couldn't edit the content until they clicked the "save and keep editing" option from the ribbon save button. When they did this they were taken to
intranet/pages/somepage.aspx?ControlMode=Edit&DisplayMode=Design
After going through the solution outlined on technet (turn publishing off and turn it on again) our users now experience : edit page taking them to full ribbon, and editable content without a URL suffix i.e. they end up at the following when they edit the page
intranet/pages/somepage.aspx
Hope this helps someone
I'd like to ask if you came up with a solution that will allow for subsites to access a centralized document library at the parent level. I'm still trying to no avail. I've tried doc library templates, views, Doc Center and the best method i have OOTB is a page view web part on the subsites page display a view from the parents library. (by the way to remove the ribbon, append ?IsDlg=1 to the url and the ribbons hidden) cool tip. Say will you give be a Y/N on a solution that will allow one to keep a set of documents in the doc center and surface them in the sub-site.
There are another option without such hard coding. You can open any view of your document library, as mentioned earlier AllItems.aspx for example with SharePoint Designer. Open it for editing in advanced mode (there are option when you click right mouse button on file in SP Designer). Then just point mouse cursor inside web part and chose in ribbon web parts, Add to Site gallery, see the picture. Fill in name of new web part. That is all, now you can add this web part on any page on any web site from webpart gallery through the user interface or through the SP Designer by clicking Insert, Web Part in the ribbon on any page.
You can do this by editing the AllItems.aspx (or other view page) and scraping off the WebPartPages:ListViewWebPart and pasting it into a page on the subsite.
This will give you an error "List does not exits The page you selected contains a list that does not exist."
Then you need to get the WebID for the root site (where you took the ListViewWebpart from and replace the part of the webpart that looks like this:
<WebId xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListView">00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</WebId>
with (for example)
<WebId xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListView">7b04dee8-b120-4dee-abea-28b77316ec7d</WebId>
I have to add a "Content Editor" web part to a list view. The "Content Editor" is required to implement some java script and a html textbox.
The problem is that after adding the web part to the list view the dropdown to switch your current view gets lost. It doesnt matter where you add the web part or if you try it with the designer or IE.
Do you have any ideas on how to solve this? Or is there another way to implement java script into a listview without adding a new web part?
This is the dropdown I mean:
Its a known issue with SharePoint 2010.
You can modify the page using SharePoint Designer to put it back.

My company has also produced a free add-on that will do this for a whole site.

I have deleted "New comment" webpart on the Blog Post detailed Page on the my SharePoint blog site, I am unable to find it in the webpart list.
How can I get undo / add the webpart back.
If you have clicked the X button in the top-right corner of the web part, it is simply closed. You can get it back as follows:
Click on Actions, Edit Page
Click Add a web part
Click Advanced Web Part Gallery in the top bottom-right corner of the dialog
Click on Closed Web Parts in the tool pane on the right
Drag the closed web part from the tool pane back onto the page
If you have actually used the drop-down menu on the web part and clicked Delete, it really is deleted. If you have check-in/out available to the page you can go back to a previous version to restore it. Otherwise you will need to restore from backup if you have one.
A very usefull way to see all web parts on the page, including closed ones, is the Web Part Maintenance Page, which is accessed by simply adding '?Contents=1' to the page address
I faced the same problem (it was my mistake :(), but I am able to get my “New Comment” webpart back on the page by using SharePoint Designer.
Steps to get “New Comment” webpart back on the page
Create New blog site just to get “New Comment” list form Webpart
Open Newly created blog site in SharePoint designer and address]/ Lists/Posts/Post.aspx page and
Copy the full XSLT code of “New Comment” list form Webpart
Go back to your production blog site and place the copied XSLT just after “comments” list view Webpart on the page
Provide “your comments list GUID” under List Name property of the copied XSLT
Save and close.
That’ it. Your “New comment” Webpart is back on the page

"If you have actually used the drop-down menu on the web part and clicked Delete, it really is deleted."
Here is a solution that does not require SP Designer and fixes the problem in a couple minutes.
In fact, it is only the Default View associated to the webpart that is deleted. Click on View All Site Content. Then on the defective library link. It will open the listedit.aspx page. Go down to the Views section. Select another view or create a new view and make it the one by default. That's it. You are back in business. Of course, you need to correct the library link in the Quick Launch section.

In my case it was a "Summary Link Web Part" that was added to a Document Library and the user accidentally "x'd" out off it. I found the "closed" web part by doing the following:
Click on "Site Actions | Edit Page"
Click on "Add a Web Part"
In the "Categories" list box on the left the last folder is "Closed Web Parts". Select the Web Part and re-add it.
Does anyone know a good way to do this? I need to have simple forms that submit to email without writing a lot of code. These forms will be hosted in content-viewer web parts or similar in MOSS 2007. I'd like to avoid using InfoPath.
You could use a list which would give you the input form.
It depends on a) whether people should be able to see each other's submissions and b) who the e-mail should go to.
You could set an alert (Actions -> Alert Me) to send an e-mail to a person/people when a new item is added to the list.
In Settings -> List Settings -> Advanced Settings, there's the options for which items a user can see/edit. Alerts however cannot be set on lists where users can only see their own items. In this case, I would use a simple workflow to send the e-mail. I've only worked with MOSS 2007 and SharePoint Designer though - I'm not sure about WSS.
You could implement a list as suggested above, and add an SPItemEventReceiver for sending emails when list items are added or changed (the link shows all of the events available to be handled)
With the sharepoint sdk, you can create your own webparts. If you add them to the GAC you can include them on your sharepoint site. You'd of course have to build a webpart for emailing though.
A workflow in Sharepoint Designer should be easiest way to implement it with no need to code.
Here's an article that explains how to do this:
Workflow example: Send a notification message :

Create a simple HTML form in a text editor with the required text boxes, text areas, select drop downs etc, add a mailto tag and save.
Then add a page viewer web part under Media and content.
Select site actions, Edit page and under the editing tool tab select Format text, HTML Markup edit HTML source and paste your HTML form you created he text editor into the source window and select OK and save.
